HILTON CLEARWATER BEACH RESORT

Had a nice time, but a little annoyed with resort fees not sure what it covered. Also would have been nice to know upfront about fees for beach chairs, umbrella & cabanas to rent. Food was excellent as well as wait staff.

Hotel is located right on the beach. They have a private section of the beach which can also be accessed by the public. I don’t think there are any lifeguards on duty (or a lifeguard tower) directly behind the hotel though. The front desk were all very nice and accommodating. Our room had 2 double beds. Hard for an adult and child to sleep in the bed. Our room had a weird smell and they promptly changed out the room for us. It might just be the carpets/ductwork, who knows, but the other room smelled better. The right side from about floor 5 and down are near the ac condensers in the roof. I think the hotel goes to floor 9, so you won’t hear it if you’re up there. I believe all the odd numbers are on the right side. The pool has a pool and ping pong table located near the pool. There is a pool for guest access only and a nice bar area with food/alcohol. There is no self parking. You have to use valet but it’s pretty quick and efficient. I had no problems getting in and out throughout the stay. Valet is $29/night. I’d definitely stay here again. Just knowing where to pick a room and to maybe get adjoining rooms next time.

Our rom cost over 500 a night. We wanted gulf view with a balcony. We did have a gulf view and balcony but over looking hotels roof that had motors humming so loud we couldn’t hear each other speaking. Make sure when you book you request not to be on side with all the machines humming 24-7. The room was outdated. Phone is broke. Bathroom was dirty when we got in with a little pile of hair from past guests. Beds were very comfortable and the linen was clean. Wonderful location with everything you need in walking distance so don’t rent a car. The beach is easy to get to maybe a 3 minute walk from my room door. The pool is heated and nice. I guess if you’re looking for easy access to beach this is a good spot. Just don’t expect much from the actual room. Around 30 a night to park your car.

Didn’t not enjoy. Staff was rude and unhelpful, charged way to much for what we got, and overall not worth the expense.

Took a vacation with family, the scenery was beautiful, live, and just fun which we enjoyed everything around. The hotel is right on beach which was amazing. However the restaurant service was horrible, my little kids were heading to the restrooms. When heading to the restrooms we had an encounter with a lady named lori with glasses and blonde hair, who watched these black children from her booth going to the restroom, she even took the extra step to leave her station just to watch the kids go into the restroom as they went in she left and as soon as they came out she started watching them like a hawk again but this time she sat at the tables next to the restrooms to watch. This made my kids very uncomfortable, half of them didn’t even want to come back to this hotel feeling uncomfortable and not wanting to come back. Rhonda Saurbaugh who is front office manager was amazing and helped us with everything. She is sweet, and listened to our concerns. Unfortunately we will not come back to this hotel due to Lori racially profiling my kids, she will never make my kids feel uncomfortable again.
